Well, this looks pretty valid (if I'm not getting it wrong) . The first
mails are service notifications the second one's are host notifications.
You should get em both, because nagios makes a difference between host and
service event's.  Taking a ping only device, it maybe does not make much
sense b/c its clear that, when a device is not pingable, it must be down.
But when you change your perspective to a service oriented view : take your
firewall, configure snmp monitoring and finally block all icmp(ping)
packets. You will see then an service notification for ping, but you wont
get an host notification b/c its yet reachable via snmp. When you then turn
it off, you'll get both a service event stating that the service went down
and a host down notification (like the second one's).
